WHAT'S THE MEANING OF " I CANT'T EVEN SEND BACK SOUP"?

Hello, guys!
Rachel is in the laundry and and a woman takes her machine.
Ross says: Hold on a second! This is my friend's machine.
The woman says : Hey, hey, hey! Her stuff wasn't in it! Hey, hey, hey!
Ross says : That's not the rule, and you know it! (The woman leaves)
Ross says: Show's over. Nothing to see here.
Rachel says: That was amazing! I can't even send back soup.
What did she mean with ''I can't even send back soup?''
Thanks

I have no idea what this expression means. It is not standard and sounds rather idiotic to me.

Hi Maria, if you're in a restaurant and the soup you ordered is cold then you "send it back" (to the kitchen). A shy person like Rachel would be too polite to "send back soup". I hope this helps. Best wishes, Louis

Probably, when she orders food and that food is spoiled, she can't send it back, maybe because of her lack of confidence to solve such problems.
